*(Comment) in case the above method does not help, you may try add to /etc/modprobe.d/50-blacklist.conf the following line

+

−

blacklist radeon

−

*install default (do not generate distibution package)

+

−

*verify /usr/share/ati fglrx-install.log, at the end of the file you should see "build succeeded with return value 0 duplicating results into driver repository...done.

+

−

*in terminal type:

+

−

aticonfig --initial -f

+

−

*then run:

+

−

/sbin/shutdown -r now
